“Wish I Was There….”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2011

people found this review helpful

From the moment you enter Royal Westmorelands you just know that its going to be one of those special places , we stayed in one of the Celebrity Villa number 8 Mahogany Drive its was a large detached with its own sweeping Drive and came equipped with a golf buggy for getting around the resort .
The Villa was very impressive with plush furnishings, amazing bedrooms and kitchen and your very own swimming pool, proper Rock star stuff!!!
There was a regular shuttle to Mullins Beach at 9.30am be warned the driver is a little grumpy!!! at Mullins Beach you will find your Royal Westmorlands padded sun lounger and umbrella and a guy called Hollywood to sort out your water sports, and be sure to ask him to take you on this speed boat with his friend Malibu to swim with the Turtles and have an amazing lunch at the Fish Pot HEAVEN so much we did it twice and would do it again.
Also don’t forget to eat at the restaurant a Mullins as it’s got to be the best Beach lunch around.
In the evenings do all the restaurants that are recommended the loinstar, The Cliff etc and pay a visit to Holetown in the evening and mix with the local all must be done!!! If you are looking for that extra special holiday Royal Westmorelands is for you ……….

“Calme, Luxe et Volupte...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2011

This is unique place in Barbados, the beauty of the beaut... The house was luxurious,
the view superb, and the services just perfect. You feel at home at the first place,
it's brilliant place to meet famous people. The swimming was gorgeous, you just wake up the morning, saying good morning to the small and funny monkey on the road, and if you do not have you own car, the shuttle bus is already waiting for you to drive you to the most beautiful beach. The team was great, friendly and paying attention to every details.
The only thing with this place, is that it is just so hard to leave it...!

“Location good, golf course reasonable, Royal Villa poor”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2010

people found this review helpful

the first visit to royal westmoreland in nearly ten years was to celebrate a special occasion.
Everything about the place looks good at a first glance but the veneer is rather thin and it hides a clear lack of investment both in people and assets.
The golf course is the classic that it always was but needs a real renovation it is scruffy in every way and the beach club is no more than a lounger on a busy, noisy beach.
The royal villa was very tired and that is how many of the staff appeared, though the clubhouse bar staff were the exception.
Sandy Lane for us next time

“Understated luxury in an elegant colonial setting!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2010

We stayed at no.28 Cassia Heights in Royal Westmoreland for the 1st week of November, 3 couples in total.
What a wonderful villa! Amazing views, spacious and felt like home from home. I have previously stayed in hotels in St James but the freedom of self catering and being able to have BBQs on the decking with the wonderful views has changed our minds from now on!
Leann, our cleaner did all our washing so we came home with clean clothes - yet another luxury!

We ate in the wonderful Lonestar (next to Alan Shearer!) which has to be the best restaurant on the Island!! Our friends at in the Cliff and Tides.

Royal Westmoreland is truly aspirational.........very slick yet unpretentious.......we need to get saving for a place there now!!

The only negative was that the Beach at Mullins Bay gets quite busy and can be noisy by the road.......but this is a tiny tiny negative!!

““overated ,lovely people but we dont get it sorry - well we get it!””

Royal Westmoreland is an absolutely first rate place to stay, we have been each year for the last 5 years and wouldn't keep returning if we didn't get it! From the day you arrive nothing is too much trouble for the Conceirge Team (special mention to Chris the manager) and they looked after us well once again on our most recent visit.

You see the thing about Royal Westmoreland is the complete privacy you enjoy when you stay on the estate but you still have access to all the facilities of the Island Bit like an exclusive members club without the formality.

Great selection of restaurants in nearby Holetown, both for formal dining or just relaxing, so you really are spoilt for choice. Neither my wife nor I play golf but we really enjoyed the early evening atmosphere in the Clubhouse watching the fabulous Caribbean sunsets. So there is a dress code, but then there is a most golf clubs here in the UK.

Fabulous Villa with it's own pool which would have slept up to 6 guests, friendliest housekeeper you could ever meet, serenaded by the singing frogs each evening and no more bugs than you would find on your family pet.

Will we be back - yes for sure!
